Evaluating and Improving Outcomes of Gastric Cancer Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

From a Western perspective, gastric cancer patients often present at an advanced stage and with a poor prognosis, resulting in limited treatment options. In North America, this leads to a 25% 5-year survival for gastric cancer patients. While surgical resection remains the cornerstone for curative intervention, there have been notable advancements in the treatment of gastric cancer over the past decade that have resulted in more favorable outcomes and prolonged survival.

This Special Edition aims to summarize our current understanding of gastric and gastroesophageal cancer and examine advancements in surgical treatment modalities and outcomes of these diseases.
